At present, animated (动画) films are popular with us. Most of them rely heavily on computer technology. But this magical world — where witches (魔法师) cast spells and castles float in the sky — is brought to life by hand, Nevertheless, Hayao Miyazaki is referred to as Japan’s Walt Disney and considered by many to be the world’s greatest living animator.
This month, the 72-year-old Miyazaki announced his retirement. The Japanese animator has directed 11 animated full-length films over the past four decades, including the Oscar-winning Spirited Away (《千与千寻》) and his latest release, The Wind Rises (《起风了》), which tells the life story of a man who designed Japanese World War II fighter planes.
Just as The Wind Rises shows, Miyazaki is well-known for his obsession with flight, especially human flight. Other attractive aspects of Miyazaki’s films include his themes of environmental protection and the horrors of war.
Miyazaki’s work is also famous for its lack of clearly defined good and evil characters. He sees the 21st century as a complex time when old standards need to be re-examined.
As a storyteller, he is an inventor of fairy tales full of mystery. In the Miyazakian universe, wizards (巫师) turn into birds of prey; young girls are transformed overnight into 90-year-old women; greedy parents are changed into pigs; and shooting stars become fire demons (恶魔).
People attribute Miyazaki’s success to his long pursuit of his hand-drawn technique, although in an interview with CNN he called himself an “extinct species” in the age of digital animation.
A recent television documentary on the making of The Wind Rises showed a disappointed Miyazaki throwing a pile of drawings into the trash. He is said to have redrawn thousands of frames of the much-praised Princess Mononoke (《幽灵公主》) when they did not meet his standards.
But his huge attention to detail has earned him the respect of the entire animated film world. Even John Lasseter — head of Pixar, the famous US computer animation studio — once called Miyazaki “one of the greatest filmmakers of our time”.
1.What can we know about Miyazaki’s film The Wind Rises?
A. It was put on a long time ago.
B. Miyaznki was once unsatisfied with some of the drawings.
C.It describes environmental protection.
D.It is an Oscar-winning film.
2.What does the underlined word “obsession” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Hatred.B. Enthusiasm.C. Envy.D. Sympathy.
3.What makes Miyazaki earn the respect of the entire animated film world?
A. His emphasis on detail.
B. His pursuit of the hand-drawn technique.
C. His dependence on computer technology.
D. His definition of good and evil characters.

The 2016 Rio Olympic Games have come to an end. Without doubt, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.
But sometimes our desire for gold medals can result in the sadness of failure. When Liu Xiang, China’s track hero, pulled out of the Beijing Olympics due to injury, he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans.
But things are different now. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier and more lenient Chinese attitude toward the sportspeople, fully in line with the Olympic spirit.
China didn’t win any gold medals on the first day. But, instead of criticizing the athletes who failed to finish on top of the podium(领奖台), the majority of fans were happy with their efforts. “Reacting in the right way when an athlete misses out on gold shows the maturity of a person, and is also a challenge for a country to face up to in the process of development,” commented CRI.
Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans’ hearts, even if she only won a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo micro blog have increased 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans appreciated her straightforward character and attitude toward competition.
“The warm support from Internet users shows that public attitude toward competitive sport and the Olympics have gotten to a higher level,” said an article in the People’s Daily.
1.From passage 2, what can we know about Liu Xiang?
A. He is still a famous athlete.
B. He didn’t complete his event in the Beijing Olympics.

C. complaining D. tolerant
3.People like Fu Yuanhui because of her ________.
A. kindness to the fans

C. attitude to competition
D. Weibo mirco blog
4.What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage?

Today, we are told, children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to screen on a computer or a TV---they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mom and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go”.
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”.
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There is no age limit on enjoying yourself!
1.What is the best title of the text?
A. Wild time for children
B. Benefits of wild time
C. More space for children
D. Adventures of children
2.Children are encouraged to do the following activities except____________.
A. building dens
B. climbing trees
C. playing hide and seek
D. watching TV
3.According to Andy Simpson, we know that_____________.
A. wild time is hard to design
B. wild time is beneficial to children
C. parents know the importance of wild time
D. parents like keeping their children indoors.

Swimming in the water of Hawaii’s Big Island is a fun experience. But it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people, it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However, this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互动).
Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day, they like to rest in shallow bays(浅湾). Many people think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe, so they may be sleeping even when they’re swimming in the water.
From 2010 to 2013, spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of Hawaii’s Big Island were exposed to human activities more than 82 percent of the time, according to Julian Tyne, a researcher at Australia’s Murdoch University.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less favorable places, putting them at risk of attack by sharks and other animals. ?
Besides, when people are around, dolphins become more active. Thus, they can’t get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population,” Ann Garrett of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service told the Associated Press.
As a result, the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example, the agency (机构) may ban swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for signs to know when the dolphins are in their resting state.
1.Which of the following about dolphins is NOT true?
A. They spend most of their time sleeping at night.
B. They like to stay in shallow bays during the day.
C. They keep half of their brain awake while sleeping.
D. They may be sleeping even when they’re swimming.
2.When dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat, they _____.
A. would swim to a crowded place
B. could move closer to sharks
C. could become less active
D. could likely sleep longer
3.Which activity is against the rules?
A. Swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins.
B. Swimming in bays where the dolphins live.
C. Making signs that show the dolphins’ resting state.
D. Making signs that show where the dolphins are.
4.What does the article mainly talk about?
A. What habits dolphins have.
B. What spinner dolphins are.
C. How the animals live in the sea.
D. How to protect dolphins near the shore.

Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%, according to new UCL research carried out as part of the Public Health Research Center.
The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found a two-way relationship between depression and physical activity. People who increased their weekly activity reported fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages.
Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood. They found that each additional activity period per week reduced odds of depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as “inactive”, and this study suggests that activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.
“Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression. If an adult between their twenties and forties who isn’t physically active became active 3 times per week, they would reduce their risks of depression by about 16%.” says Dr Snehal of the UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study.
Professor Mark, Director of the Public Health Research Center, said, “Many people are already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more evidence that suggest it also has a positive effect on a person’s mental well-being. The latest research highlights just how important it is to ensure that people are working and living in environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy.”
1.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To tell us a fun story about how to protect us against depression.
B. To introduce a research on the link between activity and depression.
C. To persuade readers to increase their weekly activity.
D. To describe the disadvantages of physical activity.
2.According to the second paragraph, if people increase their weekly activity, ________.
A. their depressive symptoms will be fewer
B. their depressive symptoms will be more
C. they will become much younger
D. they will become more depressive
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Dr. Snehal thinks it important to be both physically and mentally healthy.
B. The research shows men are more active in physical activities than women.
C. Adults who insist on physical activity will reduce depression completely.
D. Increasing physical activities can free people from depression in a way.
4.The author shows his view mainly by ________.
A. doing research
B. comparing and contrasting
C. trying on himself
D. discussing and summarizing
